Picasso's children Paloma and Claude are spending their school holidays with him. and here he introduces them to a new pet, a talking parrot, which is squatting on his arm. La Californie, Cannes 1960.

At his Villa La Californie studio in Cannes, a shirtless Pablo Picasso introduces a new pet parrot to his children, Claude and Paloma, in 1960. As the bird perches on his arm, Claude, wearing a striped polo shirt, reaches forward to touch it while Paloma observes. A Dalmatian looks on from the foreground, surrounded by the creative clutter of the artist’s studio, which is filled with paintings, sculptures, and masks.
